Find myself picking up the pieces of me that you discarded So this is what they talk about when they say "broken-hearted" Thought I was a together kind of person, the type who had a handle As fate would have it I'm exploding like a roman candle And it's pretty in the sky Such a beautiful way to die But I want my sparkle back Why does it always fade to black? ♪ I thought that ignition meant the beginning of something Really got me going and let me fizzle to nothing You could've had anything you wanted from me, I'm a catch I looked up to you so much, it's a shame you never noticed that And it's pretty in the sky Such a beautiful way to die But I want my sparkle back Why does it always fade to black? We never said goodbye At least you don't get to see me cry, cry, cry At least you don't get to see me cry Did you mean to blow me up? I just wanted to be loved Did you mean to blow me up? I just wanted to be loved Did you mean to blow me up? I just wanted to be loved, loved, loved I just wanted to be loved, loved, loved I just wanted to be loved, loved, loved I just wanted to be loved, loved, loved And it's pretty in the sky Such a beautiful way to die But I want my sparkle back Why does it always fade to black?
